I have driven past this place several times over in Vandalia, but never stopped by to eat until this week.
They have a sort of local history vibe, with many photos of the National Trapshooting association (which used to be right next door), as well as lots of photos of the airport, which used to be on North Dixie Drive.

Today I'll highlight Kewpee Hamburgers. The closest Kewpee to the Dayton area is up in Lima. They actually have more than 1 location there, but the easiest to access is the one on 309, just about half a mile west of I-75. (exit 125)

The Brookville Grille is a fast food nostalgia diner, located in the Brookville Plaza. When I first ate here a couple of years back, there was a working jukebox. Unfortunately, the jukebox has been removed, evidently because the kids couldn't stay off of it.
Even so, the interior walls are chock full of advertisements and articles from yesteryear.

They have a Reuben pizza, seafood pizza, whole wheat crusts, and nearly 40 toppings you can choose from, including 6 different cheeses.
If you think that a pizza place that offers a choice between green and black olives is great, how about broccoli, pickles and lamb as options?<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DaytonDining/~4/VKGilwfi2AI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Dayton Dininghttps://plus.google.com/114280379689375552845noreply@blogger.com0http://www.daytondining.com/2013/04/pizza-factory-review.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167339589513080514.post-79056593359728466462013-01-17T20:29:00.003-05:002013-01-17T20:29:42.796-05:00Trish's Cafe & Catering
Here's another place that I had driven past dozens of times, but never quite found the time to stop and try their food. We ended up going on Tuesday night, since there was a sign up advertising that as trivia night, starting around 6:30.
The place looks pretty inviting on the outside - check out the menu photo:

Last weekend, I went with a group to the Trotwood McDonald's for lunch. I was the first up to the cash register, and placed an order for just over $10. I looked in my wallet, and all I had was a $50, a couple of $1's, and about a dollar in change. I got out the $50, then fished around for exact change so they could just give me bills back.

I had no idea what I was in the mood for, exactly, but I do tend to like Chinese food. One of the first things you'll notice when you go inside is the large saltwater aquarium that dominates the center of the restaurant. There is a large fish that reminds me of a huge variation of an angelfish that swims around in there.

Have you ever had a hankering to taste rattlesnake? I'm guessing that most folks think it would be more likely for a snake to take a bite out of them than the other way around. However, I was down at the Old West Fest recently, and came across Grub Slingers Food. It was pretty hard to resist a sign saying "Rattlesnake Chili", but since I don't handle pepper spice particularly well, I had<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DaytonDining/~4/mO-41U8hOZ8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Dayton Dininghttps://plus.google.com/114280379689375552845noreply@blogger.com0http://www.daytondining.com/2012/09/rattlesnake-chili-old-west-fest.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167339589513080514.post-79811278242553252982012-09-11T15:57:00.001-04:002012-09-11T15:57:57.006-04:00Jerri's Restaurant, Englewood If you have ever gone to the library in Englewood (Northmont branch), you have been right next to this place. Jerri's is in the Englewood shopping center, next to Kmart and the Englewood Cinema. I have driven by it dozens of times, but never took notice of it until they purchased a sign and put it out by route 40 saying they were open for business.

Now I see that it has opened as a restaurant called Hattie J's. For some reason I was expecting hot gumbo or cajun food - possibly because it says "Louisiana style ribs" on the door. However, the focus is really American.

Wow - I came across this yesterday at a dollar store in the SE Dayton area. Although I certainly watched the show as a kid, I've never before seen anything branded with the Lassie trademark.
